Opening Multiple Files Simultaneously
On my old W2K and XP PC's I could select a number of Excel workbooks using
Windows Explorer, then right-click and select Open and all files would open for editing. Since replacing my PC with a new Vista machine I can only open 15 files at a time. Does anyone know why and how I can increase it? |

Opening Multiple Files Simultaneously
What happens when you try to open more than 15?
There is no limit imposed by Vista or Excel as long as you have sufficient system resources to handle the opened files.

Opening Multiple Files Simultaneously
When I select 15 files or less and right click I get Open, New, Print, Save
As etc dialogue but when I exceed 15 I get Scan, Share, Send to etc. "Sheeloo" wrote: What happens when you try to open more than 15?

Opening Multiple Files Simultaneously
I did some research using Google. Seems to be a VISTA limitation.
I stand corrected. See http://forums.techarena.in/vista-help/1056937.htm for a workaround.
